We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with our family, and we hope yours was great too.

Here we are with our beautiful sisters

Our lovely Mum and our sister

Our Dad and our sister

Mom and Dad made the thirteen desserts, which is a Tradition from Provence in France - read more about it here and get the recipe for delicious calissons here

For the new year, like most dogs, we don't like the noise of fireworks, but Dad found a way to enjoy a beautiful light show in silence. Do you know how he did it ? He took photos of the beautiful decorated houses while moving his camera and zooming to get these special effects :

We have not written many blog posts lately or visited our friends' blogs and there are two reasons for this :
The first one is that our brother was bullied at school because he was in our blog; Some school children made fun of him and picked on him when they found him in our blog by searching for his name. This made us sad because this is a blog about happiness and we didn't want anyone to be hurt because of that. So we will not put his name or photo any more in the blog.
The second reason is that our Mom and Dad were very busy promoting their book "Dear France, sweet country of our childhood". They also have a blog www.dearfrance.net - they have done some book signings and our Mom made some beautiful cards and bookmarks that you can see (and buy) on their blog. Here is a sample :

Best wishes of joy, health and happiness to all our friends for the new year !

Martha and Bailey said : "Bella, you never fail to make us smile! ... Bella, we always love your posts but today you have excelled yourself. How we laughed at you with your specs on studying that book!"

Santa and Minnie said : "Hey Bella, we are so glad to be your friends. We love to follow you on your adventures and love to see how you dress up."

Jen said : "Bella-- you are just adorable beyond words ... I cannot wait to read your book ... thanks for letting me join your blog. The combination of your blog and Hamish McT's comments, are the absolute highlights of my day."
